Spring Transitions

At this time of year, you never really know what the weather is going to be like. In London yesterday it was 25 degrees I'm told but "up North" I'm afraid it was cold, wet and miserable.

When it comes to clothing, this time of year I always tend to struggle. Do you dress for potential sunshine and end up cold? Do you add an extra layer and be roasting hot all day? You can never tell.

What I tend to end up buying are dresses that I can style for both Spring and Winter. Transitional pieces that you can either wear with tights, a cardigan and a chunky necklace or with bare legs and sandals.

On Sunday I was wearing this Dickins & Jones Floral Print Shirt Dress from the +House of Fraser It is currently in the size, reduced from £65.00 to £26.00 and is available in sizes 22-26. The jersey fabric lends itself well to this time of year and being a shirt dress, you can fasten/unfasten buttons at the neckline in order to change up your look and also suit the weather. I found the dress true to size.

As it was right between cold and warm on Sunday I styled the dress to match both. My black t-bar wedge shoes, a chunky gold necklace and a silk slip underneath, but with an extra button or two left undone at the neckline.

This is my first foray into the plus size dresses section at the House of Fraser and I will definately be back.

What a beautiful dress. I've recently dyed my hair black and you've inspired me to try out lighter blues :) I'm in your court I do the transition thing too- although I'm ALWAYS cold so I love to over layer clothes. X
